> License configuration without approved section approves all licenses in file.
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-518
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-518
> Project: Apache RAT
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core engine
> Affects Versions: 0.17
> Reporter: Claude Warren
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> If a second XML configuration file is specified that defines new licenses but
> does have an approved section, then all the licenses are assumed to be
> approved.
> This is a holdover from a very early implementation where only approved
> licences were assumed.
> The change should be made in the XMLConfigurationReader.approvedLicenseId
> method where an empty approvedFamilies list is assumed to mean all the
> families are approved.
> Since the default.xml specifies which licenses are approved and there are
> very few cases where users are adding additional licenses, we should make the
> change so that only explicitly approved licenses are listed as approved.
> Otherwise, it is very difficult to define extra licenses for reporting that
> are unapproved.
> The workaround is to list an already approved license in the approved section.
